The transfer of Michael Olise has long since proved to be a direct hit for FC Bayern. The Frenchman played an outstanding season and immediately developed into one of the record champions‘ most important attacking players under Vincent Kompany. Internally, people at Säbener Straße are now going into raptures – and drawing comparisons with two absolute club legends
Olise’s style of play in particular reminds many Bayern managers of Arjen Robben, with his typical pull-in from the right and precise finishes into the far corner bringing back memories of the Dutchman
But according to tz, another big name is mentioned internally: Franck Ribéry
Bayern see parallels to Robben and Ribéry
Of course, Olise is still a long way from achieving the status of the two Bayern icons, but internally there is said to be extreme conviction that the 24-year-old has the potential to be one of the faces of the club for years to come
In his first season in Munich, Olise delivered almost consistently at the highest sporting level. The Frenchman won all three national titles with FC Bayern. The only thing missing was a small step towards the big crown at international level
Even in the games against Paris Saint-Germain, Olise showed his class and was one of the few Bayern players who regularly caused PSG problems
Bayern plans long-term with Olise
There is therefore no interest in a quick sale at Säbener Straße. On the contrary: the attacking player is regarded internally as an absolute key player for the future
According to the report, Bayern are keen to extend Olise’s contract early, which is hardly surprising given that the Frenchman is already one of the most important difference-makers in Vincent Kompany’s squad – and at the age of 24 still has enormous development potential
Liverpool have apparently already been rebuffed
It comes as no surprise that top international clubs have long since taken notice, with Liverpool FC, among others, reportedly having shown great interest
However, the answer from Munich was clear: FC Bayern is not even thinking about selling at the moment
After years of searching for a new difference-maker on the wing, the record champions finally seem to have found an attacking star in Michael Olise who could be reminiscent of the great days of Robben and Ribéry.
